PRESERVING FRUITS.

T-e--...,.. r,r,.,v
Household Topic.
Most people understand the modes Of
preserving fruits. so a few hints only
need be given ON this subject. Most
people like to preserve their fruits by
the cheapest method: but unless the
sugar is of the best, and used in con-
siderable quantity, the success is un-
certain. Too much sugar destroys the
sub acid taste, so agreeable in many
fruits. The room where fruit is stored
should be dry and well aired, but
should not admit the sun. Some fruits
may he preserved in a succu.ent state
by being kept in water without boiling;
this succeeds with the smaller kind Of
apples. Baking apples and pears may
be preserved by slicing them about the
thickness of one-sixth of an inch, and
drying them in the sun or slow oven.
Fruit gathered for winter store should
not be bruised or have the skin broken;
nor should it be knocked or shaken oe
the branches; it should be gathered on
a fine day, when most likely to be dry.
The finer and larger kinds of apples
and pears should not be allowed to
touch each other in the store-room.
Lemons should be purchased in the
summer and suspended in nets for use
at the time when they are dear.
Oranges may be preserved long time

Remarkable Surgery.

The science Of surgery has made such
wonderful progress in modern times, that
.he most intricate and delicate operations
are now undertaken and carried to q sue
cessful issue. There are now several well
authenticated cases of what is known as
pneumotony, that is to say, the removal OF
diseased portions of the lungs in cases Of
consumption. While, however, this delicate
performed, the risks attending it are SO
great, and the chances Of recovery SO slight,
that it is seldom resorted to. The safest
plan in consumptive cases is to use DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This
will always cure the disease in its earlier
stages, thoroughly arresting the ravages Of
the terrible malady, by removing its cause
and healing the lungs.

A BAD INVESTMENT.


~ idaho Pioneer Educatos o Deaf Muto
and Wastes His Outlay.
There is . disposition on the part Of the
people Of this town to make fun of J. K.
Sutor because of his singular experience
with deaf and dumb man, writes . cor
respondent from Beef Gap, /. T. Sutor
own smartness. He has never been taken
in before, it is said and it is for this reason
perhaps that his acquaintance enjoy his
present discontinue 50 much.
A year or more ago Sutor had quarrel
with two men from Oregon about some
land, the title to which was not clear.
Sutor asserted that he had had his sign ON
the claim first, and that the Oregon men
came along afterward, took down his card
and substituted their own. For time
there were no witnesses on either side,
but after . while Sutor discovered that
Smith HOLSTER, q well-known deaf
end dumb man living in the vicinity,
mad seen the Oregon men at their
work. HOLSTER had never learned to use
the sign language, and consequently the
only way in which he could communicate
with others was by the most elaborate mo-
lions. Sutor satisfied himself, after long
pantomime, that HOLSTER had seen the
Oregon men take down his sign and substi-
tute their own, and he accordingly an
nounced his intention of sending Hollister
Away to be educated that he might use
him as q witness.
This was finally done, and after an alb
sence Of several months the mute returned
able to read and write and to communicate
in the sign language. For . time Sutor
was 80 proud Of HOLSTERS achievements
that he paid little attention to the matter
which more nearly concerned him. At
length, however, he preached the subject,
and, taking piece Of paper, he wrote:
"You remember my mentioning to you
about my claim that two men from abroad
say is theirs. You saw them take down
my sign, did your"
The reply was: eyes, / remf huber, but
didn't see them take down anyvsign."
Sutor grew red in the face, and seizing
the pencil, he wrote: "What In the deuce
did you see, them"
HOLSTER smiled, and writing as uncon
cernedly as possible, answered: 81 saw
you" Sutor groaned, and little by little
learned that HOLSTER had seen him put ur
the sign some months before in place Of an
old one, which was carried away, and had
tried to explain this to him by motions, but
Eutor had interpreted him incorrectly, and
thought he meant the Oregon parties,
whom HOLSTER now says he never saw,
and did not know any thing about.
HOLSTER says he can not be thankful
enough to Sutor for the interest that he
took in him. Sutor says that hereafter
when he wants Q witness he will buy hin
ready made.

PUBLIC OPINION.
The Most Powerful Influence Exertes
Against Human Progress.

The Most Powerful Influence Exerted
Against Human Progress.
Public opinion is collective medioc-
rity." 1t finds expression in manner.
habits, usages, laws and literatures,
which react upon it and tend to give it
comparative fixedness in its elementary
characteristics, in spite of its proverb-
ial fickleness. This complex body of
thought. like an organism in which
many parts coalesce and become co-or-
dinated in one structure. although sub
ject to notifications in the later accre-
tons, becomes like 1.-THE cake of Gus
tom" hardened with age. 1t is not
strange, therefore. that in some of the
older countries, like China, it is hardly
possible for the reformer to make so
much as dent in public opinion, in
favor of the removal of barriers to
progress and the introduction of the
ideas and methods Of more advanced
and progressive civilization.
Even in the most enlightened COM
munities to-day, public opinion is the
most powerful influence constantly ex-
erted against intellectual development
and moral and social progress 1t pre-
vents free and. impartial discussion of
unpopular views, and intimidates into
silence and conformity with prevailing
beliefs and observances the great ma
iority of those who hold these views;
thus directly discouraging independ-
encc. sincerity and consistency Of
thought and speech il not indeed max.
ing these qualities the exception
among those who hold decidedly un-
popular views. and silence or acqui.
essence and temporizing course the
general rule.
All original thought must come from
individuals. All great moral and so.
cial rrsorms must receive their first i'm.
pulse from the few and not from the
many. Nothing. therefore, is more
lmperstively demanded in the interest
of progress, than the freest and fullest
expression of those opinions which
clash with the conversation of the day,
~ . counterpoise to the tendency of ar
arbitrary and despotic public opinion t.
make all think alike. and thus to FRO
duce intellectual peace at the price Of
intellectual DEATH" 1t is not simply
the right. it il the duty of those in adj
vance Of their fellow-men to speak theii
honest thought, and in way to be I'M
derstood. Loyalty to conviction and
courageous devotion to the highest con-
ceptions of truth, regardless Of public
opinion or personal interests, is . de-
mand Of the times. both in public and
private life. There is vast amount Of
truth not likely to be popularity re-
ceived for long time and they who de-
fead it. in spite Of the pressure Of pub
lie opinion, perform service the value
of which can not be overestimated- =
